What ChinaYung does for your restaurant2. Start in 3 Steps — The Wow Moment in 60 Seconds
There are no onboarding webinars, no mandatory product tours, and no ten-field registration form. Getting started looks like this:
Step 1: Register — 10 seconds
Enter your email address, choose a password, and you are in. No questionnaire, no credit card, no phone number verification, no waiting for an approval email. Your account is active immediately.
Step 2: Upload your first invoice — 30 seconds
Take a photo of a supplier invoice or upload a PDF. ChinaYung’s AI reads the document automatically — it identifies every product and ingredient listed and matches them to the database. No manual typing required. The system reads; you watch.
Step 3: See your allergens — 20 seconds
Create a dish, assign the recognized ingredients, and ChinaYung instantly calculates all allergens and additives present. The result appears directly on your digital menu — ready to display, share, or print.
Total time: approximately 60 seconds to your first complete result.
3. What You Get for Free
The Free Plan is not a stripped-down preview — it is a complete foundation for legally compliant allergen labeling:
- All 14 EU allergens per dish — fully calculated, no manual cross-referencing
- Additive labeling included (colorings, preservatives, sweeteners, and more)
- Basic nutrition values for every dish (energy, fat, carbohydrates, protein, salt)
- Manage and document up to 25 dishes
- German digital menu (one page, accessible via link at any time)
- Community support and comprehensive FAQ documentation
- Permanently free — no expiry date, no automatic conversion to a paid plan, no catch
The Free Plan does not expire after 14 or 30 days. It is a real plan — and it stays free for as long as you use it.
All plans and pricing in detail4. No Risk — No Catch
„Free“ can sound too good to be true. At ChinaYung, it is simply true. Here is what that means in practice:
- No credit card at registration — not even as a formality
- No automatic conversion to a paid subscription after any time period
- Your data belongs to you — GDPR-compliant, servers in Germany
- No sales pressure — no follow-up calls, no daily upgrade nudge emails
- Upgrade anytime — or simply keep using the Free Plan for as long as you like
- Stripe-secured payment becomes relevant only if you actively choose to upgrade
Everything you enter during your free start is preserved completely — regardless of whether you upgrade, downgrade, or stay on the Free Plan indefinitely. You are building on a foundation that is yours.
5. What Happens After the Free Start?
Many businesses use the Free Plan permanently — because it fully covers their needs. That is entirely fine and always will be.
If your operation grows and you need more, the next steps are clear and commitment-free:
GROWTH — €50 / month
More than 25 dishes, AI recognition from invoices as the standard workflow, English-language menu output, API access for POS integration, and up to 3 user accounts. The right step when manual entry starts costing more time than it is worth.
PRO — €100 / month
Unlimited dishes, trilingual menu output (German, English, Chinese), full chatbot for guest communication, food cost calculation, priority support with phone access, and 10 user accounts. For operations that need everything and want no compromises.
You will see for yourself when upgrading makes sense. A few natural signals:
- Planning more than 25 dishes? → GROWTH
- Need an English or Chinese menu? → GROWTH
- More than 3 locations or 3 team members in the system? → PRO
6. Who Is the Free Start Ideal For?
The Free Plan is deliberately broad — it fits more operations than you might expect:
- Takeaways and food trucks with a manageable, stable menu
- Small restaurants that want to evaluate before committing
- New businesses that want legally correct labeling from day one — with zero upfront cost
- Caterers who need a first structured overview of their allergen situation
- Skeptics who want to see a real result before they trust — or pay
- Everyone who wants to stop maintaining allergen spreadsheets and let the software handle it
The common thread: you want the problem solved without risking a budget first. That is exactly what the Free Plan is for.

FAQ
Q1: What can I do with ChinaYung’s free plan?
With the permanently free ChinaYung Free Plan, you can manage and fully document up to 25 dishes. For every dish, you receive complete allergen labeling covering all 14 major EU allergens — calculated automatically, no manual research required. Additive labeling is also included, covering colorings, preservatives, sweeteners, and other declarable additives. Basic nutrition values — energy value, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and salt — are calculated for each dish as well. You get access to a German digital menu (one page) and community support alongside comprehensive FAQ documentation. There is no catch: the Free Plan does not expire and does not automatically convert to a paid subscription at any point. Your data remains fully intact and accessible regardless of what you decide to do later, including if you choose to upgrade to a paid plan at some point in the future.
Q2: Do I need a credit card to try ChinaYung?
No — not at all. Registering for ChinaYung and using the Free Plan requires absolutely no payment information of any kind. You enter your email address, choose a password, and your account is active. There are no card number fields, no „authorization holds,“ and no requirement to verify a payment method before accessing the platform. There is also no automatic conversion to a paid subscription after a trial window — because there is no trial window. The Free Plan is permanent from the moment you register. Payment information only becomes relevant if you actively decide to upgrade to the GROWTH or PRO plan at a point of your choosing. At that stage, payment is processed securely through Stripe, one of the world’s most widely used payment providers. Until then, nothing is required.
Q3: How long can I use ChinaYung for free?
Permanently — with no time limit whatsoever. The ChinaYung Free Plan is not a trial that expires after 14 or 30 days and forces you to choose between upgrading or losing access. It is a full plan with real, functional features that you can use for as long as you like — weeks, months, years, or indefinitely. Many small food service businesses use the Free Plan on an ongoing basis and are entirely satisfied because it covers everything they need. An upgrade only becomes worth considering if your operation grows beyond the plan’s limits — more than 25 dishes, the need for English or Chinese menu output, multiple locations requiring coordination. Even then, the decision of when and whether to upgrade is entirely yours. No one at ChinaYung will push you toward a paid plan before you are ready.
